The Best Parmesan Chicken Bake

Reviewed: Feb. 16, 2012

I made this last evening and it was a huge hit! I followed the recipe exactl, except for using thin sliced chicken breasts and crushing the croutons just a bit before adding to the dish. I didn't turn them into crumbs, just crushed them in half so they were in smaller pieces. It looked more like a crust and less like a bunch of croutons, but the flavor and texture was amazing!

S.O.P.P.

Reviewed: May 22, 2011

Made this today using skinless turkey smoked sausaged (lower in fat) and didn't add ANY oil. Cut up the meat and veggies using a food chopper so everything was the same size. Put potatoes in the microwave for 7 minutes to soften. Cooked everything else in a skillet - the veggies made enough juice so the mixture didn't stick and I never needed any oil. Added the potatoes the last 5 minutes. Seasoned with salt, pepper, and a dash of hot pepper for kick. We love this dish!!!

Chicken Souiza Cornbread Bake

Reviewed: Apr. 20, 2011

Would give it 10 stars if I could. My daughter said, "Momma, you need to laminate this recipe to protect it because we're going to be having it often". Absolutely the best casserole I've made in a long time. I used mexicorn for color & flavor, canned chicken for convenience, and only 1/2 cup sour cream + 1 can cream of chicken soup instead of the full 1-1/2 cups sour cream. I also used 2 eggs instead of the egg subsitute. Otherwise, no changes. ALSO, it reheats beautifully!

Buttermilk Syrup

Reviewed: Apr. 19, 2011

I haven't made this yet, but I was served it over hot, fresh blueberry pancakes at the home of my cousin. It was so absolutely delicious, I haven't stopped thinking about it since that morning. Now, I'm going to make it for my own family. Thanks for sharing this fabulous recipe :)

Key Lime Pie VII

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2011

Here's review #800 - Excellent pie and so very easy. I received a new heavy duty, but manual juicer that just about turns the citrus half inside out to get every last drop of juice - we all love this recipe - will go to the front of my recipe file and replace any other Key Lime Pie recipe I might have ever been tempted to use.

Yummy Bok Choy Salad

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2010

We especially love the dressing for this salad even if I changed the ingredients just a bit to use what I had on hand. I substituted rice wine vinegar and used Splenda instead of sugar for the dressing. For the salad I substituted a blend of nappa cabbage and romaine lettuce. I used rice noodles instead of chow mein because I like the smaller texture and greater crunch. I also added orange slices, Craisins, pineapple tidbits, fresh sweet red pepper chopped, and offered diced chicken/and or shrimp as protein toppings. We had this for supper on Christmas as a healthy finish to our day.

Cranberry Orange Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2010

Absolutely love these cookies. Used freshed squeezed orange juice instead of concentrate, Craisins for the cranberries, and pecans 'cause my DH is allergic to walnuts. Taking them to a Christmas Cookie Swap in the morning.

Amish Breakfast Casserole

Reviewed: Aug. 23, 2010

This dish received 8 thumbs up from the 4 of us at the supper table tonight. I made it using breakfast sausage and added sweet green and red peppers along with the onions for additional color. Will make again - for supper or breakfast!

White Wine Broccoli Casserole

Reviewed: Aug. 13, 2010

Our family LOVES this dish so much we save it for company! The only changes I make are for my convenience and for the health of those who enjoy it. I make it using meat pulled and chopped from a deli-roasted chicken, discarding the skin (our Sam's Club has the best and there is enough meat on their big birds that I only use 1/2 of one chicken), and I use low fat: cheese, soup and mayonnaise. Very impressive when I serve it over brown rice. More guilt-free with these changes.

Oatmeal and Applesauce Pancakes

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2010

Just made these for supper tonight and our family of 4 gave it 8 thumbs up! As other readers suggested, I thinned the batter a little with some extra skim milk and I used 1/2 all-purpose and 1/2 whole wheat flour. This will be in regular roatation at our table and I don't think I'll ever buy packaged pancake mix again.

Playgroup Granola Bars

Reviewed: Jul. 11, 2010

Love this recipe! I cut the honey and oil measurements in half and substituted Splenda and applesauce, respectively, to make up the difference. Also added 1/3 cup almond butter and used 1/2 cup white flour and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour. Think I've got a winner my family is going to love!

Kielbasa and Cabbage

Reviewed: Jul. 10, 2010

Great basic ingredients, but in no way am I eating 39 fat grams in one dish. I don't eat that many fat grams in an entire day! Comfort foods we love that can be enjoyed for a lot fewer calories using turkey bacon (which produces almost no drippings) and Healthy Choice turkey smoked sausage. Just taking care of my health and that of my family.

Seminary Muffins

Reviewed: Jun. 13, 2010

What a nice surprise! I've been on Weight Watchers for the past 4 weeks and was hungry for something baked, sweet, filling, and Weight Watchers friendly. This delicious muffin is just 4 points and my recipe made 18 servings, so given the nutritional information listed with the recipe, I can have 1-1/2 muffins for the 4 points.

Baby Food Cake III

Reviewed: Apr. 25, 2010

Delicious cake - recipe similar to one from my childhood. Baked it at 350 degrees b/c & thought the posted temp was a typo. I couldn't find plum baby food, so I substituted prune - worked great! I used 1/2 cup applesauce b/c that's what it came in (individual serving size) and reduced the oil to 1/2 cup. Also used pecans b/c my husband's allergic to walnuts. Very moist.

White Almond Wedding Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 6, 2010

Possibly the best cake I've ever eaten. Texture, taste, ease in preparing and appearance are all excellent! I've been known to go to weddings of people I didn't even know just to eat a piece of cake at the reception, so I know cake! I baked it exactly as stated in the recipe and frosted it with a buttercream frosting, adding 2 tablespoons all purpose flour and 2 teaspoons corn syrup.

Lemonade Cake III

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2010

Made this recipe just like it is stated except I used powered sugar in the glaze. This is a delicious memory from my childhood as my grandmother made this cake often. My own family loves it and what a treat when I can serve it with fresh sliced strawberries on the side when they're in season.

Waffles I

Reviewed: Jan. 22, 2010

Made this recipe last weekend and come Friday, the family is still raving about them! I used self-rising flour instead of the flour-baking powder-salt combo, and probably could've added about 2 more teaspoons baking powder to make them rise a bit more. Loved the tip to store leftover baked waffles between paper towels to absorb the moisture & keep them from sticking together. They re-heated beautifully in the toaster oven after letting them come to room temp (stored in a gallon-sized Zip-loc bag to keep them from drying out). We will have these often!

Charleston Breakfast Casserole

Reviewed: Jan. 2, 2010

We had this exact same casserole for breakfast on Christmas morning, except I made it using crumbled, browned and drained breakfast sausage and added to the eggs about 6 ounces of frozen chopped spinach that had been thawed and squeezed dry. It was a winner. The packaged croutons are much easier than making your own bread cubes and have a lot of flavor.

White Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 20, 2009

Delicious - crunchy, so if you're looking for a soft cookie, this recipe isn't the one for you. I substituted semi-sweet chocolate chips for the white chips, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Took them to a Christmas Cookie Exchange today and they were a huge hit!
